The Mother Of Dickens.

The childhood of Dickens was SO shad-
owed by poverty, and his sensitive and
imaginative mind was so keenly alive to
his position, that it is hardly possible that
he could draw an absolutely impartial
picture of his parents. His mother had a
keen appreciation of the droll and of the
pathetic, and likewise considerable dra
matte talent. She was comely little
woman, with handsome, bright eyes, and
genial, agreeable person. From her
Dickens undoubtedly inherited his tenn
permanent and intellectual gifts. She pos
sessed an extraordinary sense Of the ludi-
crous, and her power of imitation was
something astonishing. Her perception
wa5 quick, and she unconsciously noted
everything that came under her obserya-
ton. In describing ridiculous occur
rences, her tone and gestures would be
inimitable, while her manner was of the
quaintest. Dickens declares that to her
he owed his first desire for knowledge,
and that his earliest passion for reading
was awakened by his mother, who taught
him not only the first rudiments Of Eng
lish, hut also little Of Latin Poverty
saddened and darkened many years of her
life, and her children were early COM
Pelled to leave her and earn their own
living, but they all honored and loved her
as she deserved. d.-Woman's Argosy.

Temple in Japan.

Starting early one morning from the
Yaami hotel, Koois, q delightful place
overlooking the whole city, | direct my
inriksha boy to take me TO the temple OF
Kenninjis. Let the description of the
general features of this temple suffice for
ALL for they all haye certain features In

mense upright pillars and cross piece,
which curves down instead Of up and
which extends far beyond the uprights.
You ascend several fights OF stene steps.
sometimes passing between stone images
and shrines and stone lanterns, until you
reach the platform on which the temple
proper stands. Here you remove your
shoes, and perhaps pair of slippers will
be provided you. You ascend the short
fight of steps Immediately in front of the
temple and find yourself in a sort Of q
wide porch extending along the whole
front of the edifice and upheld by several
rows of massive wooden pillars. Behind
these is row cf large paneled doors. ex
tending clear across the building tut you
will find only the middle two open.
Within you encounter other rows of
pillars uphoIding the roof. and behind
these in tho exact center sits the image,
surrounded with the censers and para
phernalia of the priests and with whatcy
er attendant images there may happen to
be. Near approach is prevented bya
wooden railing. A wooden box stands
in front of each image II is furnished
with wooden slate across the top. and
into it are thrown the offerings of the
worships. The grounds Of the Kenninji
are beautifully laid out in lawns and
walks In the eastern part Of the grounds
hangs an old bell. which for many years
lay in the river bed, buried in debris II

Why Is 1t

That rheumatism and neuralgia are so preva a- lent This question has not been satisfac- torily answered, but it is certain that these diseases not only the most painful but among the most common, and some member of nearly every family in the land is the vic tim of one of these dread tormentors. La dies seem to be peculiarly liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the form of neuralgia headache, pain in the back, or nervous pains are of constant occurrence. Not until the discovery of Athlophoros had any remedy been found for either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous headache, and they were general ly conceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros has been proved to be not only certain cure for these diseases, in all their varied forms, but safe remedy. If, in the use of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely open, it's success is certain, and to aid this, Athlophoros Pills are recommended, which, while providing the necessary cathartic, will be found to be valuable aid to the action of the medicine. Athlophoros is no evperi- ment, it has been tested and has proved it's wonderful efficacy.
 The Athlophoros Pills were originally pre- pared remedy for use in connection with Athlophoros for rheumatism and neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used in connection with that remedy they certain cure for either of these very common and distressing diseases. They have also been found to be an invaluable remedy for any and all dis eases arising from vitiated blood or general debility. They are especially valuable for nervous debility, blood poisoning, dyspep- sia, distress after eating, headache, constipa- tion, loss of appetite, and all stomach or liv- CT troubles. For diseases of women they are invaluable. These pills are perfectly harm less and may be safely used by adults or children.
 Testimonials of those who have been cured will be sent free on application.
 Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can- not be bought of the druggist the Athlophor- os Co.,, 112 Wall st., New York, will send either (carriage pai6 on receipt of regular price. which is $1 per bottle for Athlophoros and soc for Pills,

 Bids were read at the meeting of the Board of Public Works last evening for the build ing of the sewer Continuation of the boule vard) between Kimberly avenue and Lam- berton street. c. w. Blakeslee & Son were the lowest bidders at $42, ,436 50. The matter was tabled.
 A petition was read from citizens of Grand avenue asking for the hardening and top dressing of the avenue from Barnesville bridge to Quinnipiac bridge; tabled.
 Regarding the top dressing and hardening of Sylvan avenue, Howard avenue between Sylvan and Congress avenues and George street between Church and York streets Commissioner Whitney thought this board had no right to order this done and gave the reasons which his opinion was based. It was referred to the Common Council with costs of the work. On motion the Common Council was also asked to rescind it's order of Telford pavement on Howard avenue between Congress and Sylvan avenues.
 Henry W. Farnam appeared and asked for x street. City Engineer Hill was ordered by the board to prepare plans and specifications of the work and advertise for bids.
 A petition from the men engaged on the stone crushers was read asking for an in- crease of $1.5o per day to s2. Edward L. Hitchcock, superintendent city crusher, said tine men deserved the increase. On motion of Commissioner States the superintendent was empowered to hire what men he chose at a compensation of $1.75 per day, instead of $2 as petitioned.
 The petition of George D. Wharton for appointment as inspector of sewers was ordered on file.
 Dr. F. H. Whittemore's bill of $12O.25 and the bill of 8 Broadway merchant amounting to small sum were ordered paid
 The matter of keeping the sidewalks cleaned came up for consideration. Corpor- ation Counsel Driscoll said that if the city kept on it would cost them more to pay for damages sustained by persons falling on icy sidewalks than for the city to clean all the walks. This matter created lively talk ending in vote that the Common Council be asked to compel the police to. report all cases where walks and gutters were not cleaned according to law.
 Commissioner Sullivan offered a resolu- ton that on and after May all contracting for work by the board be abolished, as work was done more cheaply when done by the city than when done by contractors, and as con- tract work brought out-of-town men here to work when the work ought to be done by our own laborers. The matter was tabled
 Mayor York spoke of the growing evil throughout the city of people to put salt on tion of the ordinance.
 The matter of buying new stone crusher was brought up, but was tabled without dis oussion.

THE BRIDGEPORT MURDERER. He is Supposed to Have Come to This City Last Night After the Excitement Had SubsIded.

Jacob Brown, the Bridgeport murderer who shot his wife night before last, is supposed to be in thls city. Before the police arrived on the scene of the murder in Bridgeport had escaped. They secured the city, but they did not find the fugitive. It was thought he had made good his escape from the city, but it was unknown as to which di- reetion he had gone.
 It seems that instead of leaving Bridgeport he laid low, probably with friends, and last night, according to the conductor, boarded the 10:16 train there. He rode as far as Strat- ford. The conductor of the train says that at tqat place he alighted from the train, but before the train started got on top of one of the passenger cars and came on to Ghis city. The train runs on further than her.
 Up to three o'clock this morning the mur- derer had not been arrested by the police here.
